As he was nominated by the Administration element, this would indicate that Judge Peckham would go through like a flash. Hill predicts his election. , Unless the Governor of Virginia pardons him, Cluvenus' last chance has been exhausted. The Supreme Court at Staunton, on Thursday, le fused him a rehearing. All that re mains to be done by any court is for the Hustings Court at Richmond to fix a day for the banging. The recent nominees by the half party convention of the Republicans are steadily1 declining. Judge Bynum intimates very plainly that he had enough of the office when he held the associate justiceship of the Supreme Court. Doubtless his chief objection is the. fact that he cannot possibly get it now. Some people appear to live for no other purpose than to manufacture lies and retail them at the President's expense. The case of the late Mr. Neal, of Baltimore, is probably the la test, although these stories follow fast upon one another. The old gentle man was a relative of Mr. Cleveland. In his lifetime he received such atten tions, including an invitation to visit the White House and attend the Pres ident's wedding, as were proper. The enemies of Mr. Cleveland now say that the brother of his mother was treated with entire neglect. The friends of Mr. Neal are indignant, and deny the allegation with a statement of the facts, which are given above. At Kaukauna, Wis., workmen were engaged in excavating a sewer upon the ruins of a stone building at a depth of eight feet. The stone first bore traces of fine workmanship and polish. Further digging developed a quantity of ashes, about twenty-five bushels of which were removed, when another wall was struck. The stones were finely faced, some being blackened, as if by fire and smoke. Others must have been subjected to great artificial heat, as they had crumbled into lime. The work was found but a foot or two above bed rock, and shows evidence of workmanship that could have been performed only by a highly civilized race. It must have been done centu ries ago, as a large elm tree had grown over the ruins. The discovery has led to the advancement of many theories. t ' m"m- " An interesting statement comes from the Salt Lake Tribune. Indications are thickening weekly, it says, show ing the unwillingness of the rank and file in the Mormon church to sustain polygamy at the risk of arrest and im prisonment. A Mormon official says it all depends on John Taylor how long this continues; one word from him and polygamy would be given up. The church can't fight, the Mormon people can't emigrate, and the hold of the priesthood upon them is weaken ing rapidly as avenues of communica tion are opening up between "Saints" and outside Gentiles, and the filthy lucre necessary to grease the palms of impecunious Congressmen is feeing cut short in reduced tithing.-;' The gasps of the polygamous organization are coming quicker, the fatal hectic flush is deepening upon its cheek, and the death rattle is plainly heard within its limits. 3 Our gaUant)tandard bearer of the congressional banner MajCi W. Mc Clammy, enters upon his canvass in this county this weeTc.t'Hej&pens at Fremont to-morrow (Prijiay) "rill ad dress the citizens of Goldsboro to morrow night; of the Mount Olive sec tion at Mount Olive on Saturday, and at Seven Springs on Monday. Let the people turn out at these appoint ments in full force to hear him, and let us see to it that old Wayne county will give him at least 400 majority. The Major, or the "plow-boy candi date" as the Wilmington Review fitly names him, writes that paper from Lillington, Harnett county, that he has been having very large crowds, to hear him wherever he has spoken, fie adds that "the democracy of Cumber land, Harnett and Moore are in a healthy state and a good vote will be polled. The woods are on fire up here and I think that this fire will become disseminated over the entire district before November." The Fayetteuille News, too, referring to the assertion that there is apathy in the district, says ; "We whoHive in almost the centre of the district have as yet failed to discover any extraor dinary apathy, and we take pleasure in saying that we intend toelecfcthe 'Marsh Pony' of Pender by the biggest majority any candidate eve received in the third." The Raleigh News-Observer, comment ing on this, says : "We are not sur prised to get this report. McClammy is just the man to bring out the enthu siasm of the people. He is, in the first place, enthusiastic himself in the cause of right and of democracy, and then he has the gift of stirring up his hear ers to a full appreciation of his ear nestness and of the importance of the great political principles which he maintains. The old third is without doubt perfectly safe under the Demo cratic banner that he bears." Yes, we think the district perfectly safe, and yet we should not feel too sure of this. Let us give McClammy the full Democratic vote of the district, whether he shall have ah opponent or not. As yet the Republicans have not named their candidate. They know that it is useless to name one, and yet at ways that are dark and tricks that are bad, the Radicals are peculiar. Let us not be found asleep. AN INDEPENDENT. We are pained to see that Mr. W. G. Broadhurst announces himself as an independent candidate for the Sen ate in opposition to W. F. Kornegay, Esq., the regular Democratic nominee. He states in his card, published else where, that in doing so he "makes no sacrifice of his political principles," that he is "a Democrat from principle, and while men may change, priciples never do." A strange position this, for a candi date that seeks to disorganize the Democratic party and relies upon his election entirely in the hope that the Republicans may support him, al though he announces that he "makes no sacrifice of former political princi ples." It is very strange, in the' face of this declaration, that Mr. Broad hurst's card announcing him a candi date, should be handed in for publica tion through the chairman of the Re publican county executive committee. We hope that Mr. Broadhurst, like Mr. Linney in the 8th congressional district, may yet see the error of his course, and retire in becoming order Only a few weeks since he was a can didate before the Democratic county convention for the office of sheriff. Can he prove himself unworthy of the support he then received? We await his course in the matter. GALLIA ET BRITANNIA. The belligerent tone of the Austrian s finds its counterpart' in the attitude of the French government on the Egyp tian question. As Austro-Hungary insists that Russia acting alone shall not .occupy Bulgaria, so France con tends that England alone shall not control Egypt . The Londoners do not relish the speech of De Freycinet, the French premier. His'organ, the Paris Debats, in its comment on the speech, has said: "If Freycinet, m exchange for a trumpery concession, consented to a permanent occupation of Egypt by England, he would not long sur vive an act of such signal weakness." There is another matter between France and England Madagascar. It is said that the French are to renew the war against the Hovas, the lead ingrace on the island. These Mala gassy have the sympathy of England. Altogether it seems probable that these immemorial enemies, the Gaul and the Saxon, are to clash on some one of the numerous questions upon which they are at variance. Russia reckons on France and for the present on Bismarck. The latter hates France and wishes still further to humiliate Tier. But his policy is to help Russia, and as long as his master, the Em peror, lives this will probably continue to be his policy. France dislikes Ger many more than she does England. but the former is a martial, the latter a commercial rival. - It remains to be seen which is dearer to the modern French heart, money or glory.

JEFF DAVIS ANS WEBS THE 'i SHERMANS. .- .j : - - - - ' V The caption - "Jefferson Davis De nies" has come to be perfectly famil iar to newspaper readers. The old hero statesman, like his model Andrew Jackson, never would hear in silence the accusations of the mean spirits who dogged his footsteps. Too old and helpless to fight physically, he is vet vouner enougrh to make - himself felt in a newspaper war. His five col umn reply to Sherman's charges is one of the most trencnent and convincing of his many masterly efforts. ; The time had fully come for him to speak, and he spoke marvellousy well. The Shermans are smart, but in keen shooting satire, in strength of narra tive statement and vivid portraiture of men and motives, he is far their superior. The communication referred to was printed in the Baltimore Sun of last Friday, Gen. W. T. Sherman had charged in a speech delivered last year before a St. Louis Grand Army post that Mr. Davis was not a secessionist but a conspirator. Sherman declared that he had seen and identified a let ter from Mr. Davis to a Confederate, whose name he would not mention be cause the recipient of tne letter was then the United States Senate, in which Mr. Davis threatened to turn Lee's army against any State attempt ing to secede from the Confederacy. Mr. Davis quotes his original denial, and also quotes Gen. Sherman as re fusing to interviewers to name the Senator he had referred to, and as saying he would write to Mr. Davis himself. This, Mr. Davis charsres, Gen. Sherman never did, but. instead filed what he called a "historical state ment" in the War Department. Mr. Davis arraigns the partisan majority of the United States Senate for call ing for this statement and giving it official sanction under the circum stances. He then enters into a spe cific and detailed refutation of the charge against him. He declares that he would have permitted the matter to stand with his denunciation of Gen. Sherman as an "irresponsible slander er" had it not been for the action of the Senate. He points to Gen. Sher man's "historical statement" as indi cating Senator Vance as the recipient of the alleged letter, the General hav ing said he found and read the letter in a book at the Governor's house in Raleigh. Mr. Davis quotes Senator Vance's sweeping denial of the exist ence of any such letter. Mr. Davis, after reviewing Gen. Sherman's many statements on tne subject, character- izes tne uenerai s courre as that or picturesque prevarication," unsup ported by proof and contradicted by well known acts and the general course of his (Mr. Davis') career. Mr. Dayis corrects in detail the various stated ments of Gen. Sherman and his broth er, Senator Sherman; quotes Alexan der H. Stephens4n vindication of his course as President; explains the sus pension of the writ of habeas corpus in the Confederate States, and contrasts the use of the power thus conferred with its abuse by the Federal authori ties, particularly in Maryland; defends Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston from the charge of disloyal conduct in Califor nia, refers to Gen. Sherman's duplicity towards Gen. Grant as shown by the Fry correspondence, and quotes his (Sherman's) confession of the falsity of his charge against General Wade Hampton with reference to the burn ing of Columbia, S. C, as showing him to be unworthy of belief. Mr. Davis concludes by saying that he was com pelled in vindication not only of him self, but of the people who honored him with the highest official position m their gift, to group together in stances of repeated falsehoods delib erately spoken and written by Gen. Sherman. The writer then goes into a demon stration that his State's rights views alone would have prevented him from adopting such a policy as the using of the army against any State in the Confederacy, and refers to his refusal to march Confederate troops into Ken tucky to oppose the Federal govern ment there m 1861. Gen. Sherman having used an extract from a "south ern paper," supposed to be the Rich mond Examiner, as evidence that Davis encouraged expressions of hostility to State sovereignty, and was thus pre paring to subvert the Confederacy, the latter prints a letter from Nat. Taylor, the surviving editor of that paper, to the effect that, while the pa per in the early part of 1864 urged certain radical measures, it did not pretend to speak for the administra tion. Concluding this phase of the issue. Mr. Davis writes: "I know. nothing ot any 'conspiracy' or any 'conspira There was no secrecy about any of the political affairs which led to the secession of the States in 1860-'61. There was no possibility of any con cealment. The people were advised by the press, they acted knowingly, and the results, through all their va rious phases, were necessarily known to the people, by whom, they were rat ified and confirmed. To talk now of conspiracy and conspirators is shal lowy nonsense, and notwithstanding Sherman says that he f was approach ed by a number of the Knights of the Golden Circle,1 that accusation will be dismissed as the coinage of political demagogues. : If JSherman was ap proached by 'conspirators they knew theirCman; eytjmay have heard of his conversation at Vicksburg, his ap proval ot Southern action and his talk of the'di-ljankees tor f3or.-Roper7 and such expressions, may .have re garded him as' a tit conspirator "with themselves." fto "man ever insulted me by approaching me with sugges tions of conspiracy.'' - : -' The most. important subsequent par agraph of Mr. Davis' communication is as follows:! "As to the action taken at the con ference of some of the Southern Sena tors in January, 1861, and which is in troduced in this 'historical statement1 as evidence of a conspiracy, it is only necessary to say to those Senators who m the debate on the Hawley resolu tion, referred to the letter of D. L; Yulee to Joseph Finneganand the res olutions attached thereto, that the resolutions were forwarded to the con ventions of the States then in session, and that they were the resolutions of Senators representing those States conveying to the conventions of the States the views of the Senators. Those resolutions were not discovered by Gen. Sherman they were not dug up from beneath the sod in any yard through which he marched. They weie necessarily public, since they were sent to the conventions of the States, and they were printed in the newspapers. To speak of such an ac tion as a conspiracy, as Senator Sher man did in the debate on the Hawley resolution, shows to what defence he was driven to assist his brother out of the mire of mendacity in which he was floundering." He accuses Gen. Sherman of wilful and deliberate falsehood, and s&ys his motive had its inspiration in that "mean malice which has characterized his acts and writings in other respects towards the Southern people." He denies that there was any conspiracy to take the South out of the Uniofi. and he declares that the voluntary abandonment of the charge of treason against him, not at his instance, but in spite or his dehance. should nre elude the charge of treason against ' A him. Towards the conclusion. Mr. Davis revives Gen. Sherman's letter declaring that had C. J. Smith lived Grant would have disappeared from history, his denial of its authorship and the subsequent publication of the letter. 0UK WASHINGTON LETTER CHANGES PROPOSED IN THE CIVIL, SERVICE RULES. n " -m ar- .examination capers .cuarKea in Washington The Royal Arch Masons Elect Officers North Carolina Politics. Staff Correspondence of the Messenger. Washington, October 2. Most of the proposed changes in the civil ser vice ruies Dy tne commissioners are - I I A 1 - - expected to be popular when effected. Ihe chief of a bureau will be permit ted to request the examination of any person who has been appointed with out examination and had been promo ted since the civil service law had gone into effect. A failure to reach a re quired standing in this examination might result in the reduction in grade of the person examined or his dis missal. Another modification of the rules will be for the convenience of persons wanting to undergo examination A schedule is now being prepared giving definite dates and places for the hold ing of examinations in each State, and when this schedule shall have been ap proved it will be published and rigidly adhered to. The questions raised bv the National Civil Service Reform" League have been under consideration, particularly with reference to the marking and grading of examination papers. The commission has decided to recommend a plan providing for the reduction of the present board of departmental ex aminers in this city from fourteen to six members. This board will be as signed permanently and entirely to the task of going over the papers of all applicants throughout the country and grading them. In this way it is expected to obviate the objections of possible favoritism and of undue in fluence on the part of the local boards, while the examiners, from increased familiarity with their 1 work, are ex pected to prove much more efficient in passing upon the papers. During their session here this week the Royal Arch Masons had an inter esting time. ; They called on the Pres ident, visited Mt. Vernon and other points, and partook of one or two handsome boquets. Mr. Noble D. Lamar, the new General Grand High Priest, is a citizen of Washington having always lived here. The re mainder of the officers were elected as follows: GeneraFGrand Treasurer R. C. Lemon, Toledo, Ohio; General Grand Secretary Christopher G. Fox, Buffalo, N. Y.; General Grand Captain of the Hosts B. F. Haller, Memphis, Tenn.; General Grand Principal So journer R. W. Woodbury, Denver, Col.; General Grand Royal Arch Cap tainLansing Burrows, Augusta, Ga.; General Grand Master of the Third Vail T. B. Bean, of Iowa; General Grand Master of the Second Vail Dr. H. C. Orme,' Los Angeles, Cal.; Gen eral Orand Master of the First Vail Hiram Bassett, Millersburg, Ky. The report of the General Grand Secretary showed thirty-eight Grand Chapters, representing a membership of 123,545, an increase of 5,567 in three years. The receipts were $84,697.25; expendi tures $74,361.77. The report of the twenty-six subordinate chapters shows a membership of 1,118. .The treasur er's report was read and showed a healthy financial condition. The next general grand chapter will be held in Atlanta three years from now. There is report that the Treasury Department is soon to be thoroughly reorganized; under the supervision of Assistant Secretary Thompson. Designs have been forwarded to the Mexican government for a legation building in this city, to cost $50,000; . On . Thursday the . order changing the navy yard into an ordnance foun dry went into effect. . A little work remains to be done, but two hundred employes were discharged...

Secretary Endicott was at his office yesterday. - ' Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by her mother and Mr. B. H. FoIsOm, her cousin, is at Buffalo.' ' A Virginia delegation invited the President to visit Richmond on the 20th. Fair week. He will probably attend. Admiral Porter is lying very ill from a carriage accident at3Iilford Springs Massachusetts. Secretary Manning is expected here next week. During the present administration 1,067 appointments have been made in me interior .uepartmeni. The resignations of Robert L. Tay lor, pension agent at Knoxville,Tenn., and Chester H. Warner, land register at Walla Wall, Nevada, have been ac cepted. Osborne Hunter has brought out the fact in the city press that the colored industrial exposition here is not the first thing of the kind, but that North Carolina led the way several years ago. The fair is a decided success, but all the exhibits will not be in before next week. No immediate changes are anticipa ted in the officers at the Government Printing Office further than have oc curred, but three resignations of fore men and assistant foremen have been accepted and others may follow. Land offices have been established at Chadwin and Sidney, Nebraska, and the Bayfield, Wisconsin, office has been removed to Ashland. The cattle disease in Farquair . and other Virginia counties has been as certained to be Texas fever, and not pleuro-pneumonia. The Department of Agriculture sent out an agent to in vestigate. Secretary Lamar took possession of his newly leased premises, 1315 N street, on Thursday. NORTH CAROLINA NOTES. Rev. Robert Strange and bride were staying at the Riggs House on Thurs day.

It looks as if North Carolina will be forced to have recourse to a railroad commission. Col. Andrews and Mai. Wilson are now the only North Caro linians who have official connection with the Richmond & Danville sys tem, and their connection, it is suspected, is little more than nomi nal. They have heretofore stood as a breakwater for our protection, but there is reason to believe that they hare been shorn of much of their power and have now little influence tn the management. The danger in railroad commissions is two-fold : firft, that the commissioners will fall under the influence, of the railroads ; second, thaf by harsh treatment they injure the railroads in their business and cause them in their irritation to seek new methods for persecuting the people. Men of high integrity and great prudence are needed for such positions. Of course if the Legislature establish such commission and take upon itself the duty of choosing the commissioners it will choose them from among its own members ands thus weaken confidence in it at the outset; but if it pass an act creating the commission and leave it to the Governor to appoint the commission ers, Gov. Scales can be depended upon to appoint safe men and men who would do justice to all parties in every controversy, for he is neither at enmity with railroads nor under their influence. 'Tom "Kippur."
